[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Considering U Michigan (OOS), W&M Monroe Scholars (OOS), Lafayette ($25,000/yr merit) and Northeastern ($20,00 merit/yr) for Poly Sci/Econ[/quote]

If cost is not a factor, I'd say go with Michigan.  Head and shoulders above the other 3 options.[/quote]

OMG, this stuff never ends.  A - U Mich is not head and shoulders above the other 3 options, and B - it's irrelevant -- these are not Ivies - your kid should go where they will be most lively to thrive!

It's no wonder why so many college kids are stressed, unhappy and ultimately transfer schools - they focus on the wrong things in their decision process!!!  A happy and engaged kid will be more likely to excel in their academics, but more importantly will grow into the person who can excel in life!

Nationally, yes it is. It is a legit top 20 school with virtually every program in the top 10. Sure, if you want to be in the Mid-Atlantic then Lafayette or W&M are fine - both great schools. Michigan is a powerhouse and has the reputation and alumni network to back it up.[/quote]

This.  The PP you are responding to either has something against Michigan or does not know what she's talking about.  I repeat, if cost is not a concern, go with Michigan.  It IS head and shoulders above the other choices.

Everyone here is talking about W&M. While it's a great school, its nowhere close to Michigan on any standard.  It's not even a top school in VA.  A few SLAC (or is this one a LAC) afficionados seem to recommend Lafayette but.. c'mon.  No one seems to like NEU.

OP. If you have the money, go the best school money can buy.  In this case, it's Michigan.[/quote]
